NOTICE: The following text is sequenced to remove
the rear body. Each successive step requires that
the previous be accomplished.
NOTICE: During reassembly, do not tighten compo-
nents to specified torque until adjustment with mat-
ing components has been achieved.
The rear facing rear seat and the cargo bed is equipped
with a safety latch to prevent the sear or bed from pivoting
during vehicle operation (Ref. Figure 1).
The latch tab for the seat is to be mounted so that the arm
is toward the outside of the vehicle.
The latch tab for the bed is to be mounted so that the arm
is toward the inside of the vehicle.
To be properly adjusted, the rear edge of the latch tab,
when mounted under the driver side seat back adjustable
bumper bracket, will align with the rear edge of the
bracket. Check latch tab adjustment to ensure latch
assembly fully engages tab when in locked position.
Adjust as necessary by moving tab to the front or back to
allow full engagement of latch assembly on tab.
PAINTING
Follow the paint manufacturer’s recommendations for
specific painting procedures and information.
All painting must be done in an area with adequate
ventilation to safely disperse harmful vapors.
Wear eye protection and respirator, following manu-
facturer’s instructions, to protect from overspray
and airborne mist.
Provide protection from overspray to vehicle and sur-
rounding area
Minor Scratches
For minor scratches, the manufacturer suggests the fol-
lowing steps be taken to repair the Durashield™ body:
1. Thoroughly clean the surface to be repaired with alco-
hol and dry.
2. Touch up damaged area with sequential coats (two
coats minimum recommended, allowing 30 - 45 min-
utes between coats, increasing to 45 - 60 minutes in
higher humidity) using brush on touch-up paint, until
coating layer is visible, slightly above the surface of
the part.
3. Use 400 grit “wet” sand paper to blend touch up area
level with the rest of the part being repaired. Use a
polishing compound (3M Finesse or automotive
grade) to renew gloss and to further blend and transi-
tion newly painted surface.
4. Clean with alcohol and dry.
5. (Optional but recommended) Follow this process with
clear coat to renew and protect depth of finish.
6. Wax or polish with Carnauba base product, available
at any automotive parts distributor.
Larger Scratches
For larger scratches, the manufacturer suggests the fol-
lowing steps be taken to repair the Durashield™ body:
1. Thoroughly clean the surface to be repaired with alco-
hol and dry.
2. Mask the area to be painted (common masking tape is
adequate) prior to repair and use aerosol type touch-
up paint.
3. Apply spray touch up paint in light even overlapping
strokes. Multiple coats may be applied to provide ade-
quate coverage and finish. Always remember to shake
the can for a minimum of one minute to mix the paint
and achieve the best color match.
4. After painting, allow to dry overnight. Smooth the
mask lines using 400 grit “wet” sand paper to blend
